Posted at 7:08am on Jan. 26, 2007 Don't Overreact - Romney Gave Money to Dems in 1992

By olderthangandalf

The muckrakers over at Democratic organ TPM Cafe are trumpeting that Mitt Romney gave money to three Democratic candidates in 1992. (Aside to Redstate's Beltway overlords - we could use a Republican version of TPM Cafe. For the cost of a couple of reporters, they do a pretty good job of digging stuff up to help their side that otherwise would go unreported.)

It's a total of three contributions. He gave $250 to then Congressman Richard Swett of New Hampshire and $250 to then-Congressman John LaFalce of New York. Romney also gave $1,000, which was then the most you could legally give, to Doug Anderson, who was on his way to getting stomped in a race for the Senate from Utah.

By olderthangandalf

In a press conference Monday, Senator Allard announced he's going to stop at two terms.

Rep. McInnis has the inside track for the Republican nomination, but it's a long way to 2008.

There also will be a lot of maneuvering on the Democratic side, including Rep. Udall and Mayor Hickenlooper of Denver.

It's the first, but won't be the last, confirmed open seat for 2008.
